I've started cutting up some Oak sleepers with a circular saw this morning but the saw is not quite large enough to make a full cut Any suggestions on how to safely and accurately finish the cut from the other side would be appreciated Thanks Ewan Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Eventually got everything marked up and ready for drilling Made a jig bolted to fence made from a piece of 2 by 4 and clamped underneath the drill table As the T section bar I'm drilling is fairly long I've angled the drill table so as to be able to support the other end of the bar in my vice...

Hi Mike Thank you for the suggestion but unfortunately I don't have a router table, only a little handheld katsu. I have a large meddings pillar drill which lets you lock the quill at a specified height but presume the slot cutter wouldn't be too safe to use in this. For preference I'd like...

Thank you for your the suggestions suggestions Switch ordered and delivered It seems sizeable and solidly built I've taken a few photos for scale and close-ups of the wiring diagram and info in case it's useful to anyone else. Wiring looks relatively straightforward. Only thing I can work...

Hi The cherry trees in front of my house were being pruned earlier this year and I saved some of the branches from going in the chipper, tied them up and stuck them in my garage roof without doing anything sensible like sealing the cut edges. They have since developed a light covering of mould...

On the right hand side of the drill just behind the Pillar and underneath the casing which holds the belt there is a small bolt sticking out. Any idea what this might be for? Thanks Ewan Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Underneath this disc there's a small bolt with a nut just above where the chuck sits. Any idea what this does, could it be to adjust the position of the handle when the chuck is fully retracted? Thanks Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Opposite where the handle attaches there is a silver disc with a couple of holes that look like there for a pin spanner. Any idea what this does and how to adjust it? Thanks Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
